Picture Color is Malfunctioning

I purchased this unit new in August 2002 and have had no previous problems. But last week my color RED is now showing as a deep purple.
I cannot get it to adjust correctly and produce any RED on known RED items such as a Nebraska jersey, which is RED. No adjustments I try work, nor will it allow me to select Auto Color Adjustment on the Advanced Settings - Video dropdown. Please advise on a fix and if it is cost effective to repair the TV i.e. (approx. parts cost & ballpark service/tech charge). I don't want to pour alot of money into it, given it's age(6 yrs), and the fact that although it is a HDTV it does not have a HD USB cable port for my HDTV dish box.

If the screen is green then it is not the bulb. Most likely the color wheel is not turning. There is a rotating wheel that has Red, Green and Blue color segments. If the wheel is not moving then it will just show one color. This is something that can be fixed but requires a repair service center.

sorry but those adjustment are not the right one , to correct the color problem u have frist , u need to hire a tv tech , tv would has to adjust the screen and focus back to normal after that , need to replace the oil on green and blue picture tube

THIS TV HAS KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH PICTURE TUBE FAILURES AND I WILL PREDICT THAT AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE EVEN IF YOU GET IT REPAIRED NOW, ONE OF THE REMAINING TUBES WILL START GIVING YOU PROBLEMS. YOU HAVE THREE TUBES IN THIS UNIT (RED,GREEN & BLUE) AND THE RED TUBE IS DEFECTIVE. SORRY FOR THE NEWS BUT JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU THE ULTIMATE COST FOR REPAIRS, FOR A PICTURE TUBE REPLACEMENT AND SUBSEQUENT SET UP IS A MAJOR & COSTLY REPAIR.HOPE THIS HELPS

If you were to put an all white image on the screen, would there be evidence of this red color in the picture? If so, its likely that the light engine has gone bad. One or more of the LCD panels inside has been damaged by the heat from the lamp. This is an expensive part to replace. It never hurts to contact the manufacturer for assistance.
